Preliminary log matching support

[Christian Hopp]

Hi!

Here is the second preliminary log matching support patch:

1.) cosmetics are corrected

2.) documentation has been updated

3.) parse buffer is 511 byte long

4.) the output is more verbose:

'foobar.log' content line matches regular expression!
Regular expression:
^[a-z]*$
Content:
foobar123

5.) the statement has been extended:

IF [NOT] MATCH {regex|path} THEN action

and

IGNORE [NOT] MATCH {regex|path}

- IGNORE has precedence over IF
- lines matching an IGNORE rule is not anymore checked
- all not empty lines in a file where path points to is added to the match
  list (either IGNORE or IF)
- NOT inverts the IF or IGNORE matching rule accordingly

=> you can do online logchecking with nearly the power of logcheck!

still todo:

* find a regex library which can be shipped with monit source
  (licences,...).  Any ideas?
* examples in the docs

Have fun with it,


Christian
